She had a list of the items offered and was transcribing it onto her new, large, blackboard walls behind the bar. Using the temporary lines, she made uniform and tidy lettering across the boards.

Various potted plants scattered around the shelves, counter, and grew up the walls. Mostly herbs and vegetables that she would also use in her food and drinks. The touch of her Homesteading brought to the Leaky, where she wanted to offer her customers delicious tastes of flavourful produce.

She paused to stretch out her wrist. Of course doing it the muggle way was painful and slow, but she had already organised everything, put things into their places, and cleaned every one of the guest-rooms. She had time to do this the muggle way.

”Pardon?” Winnie called out as she leaned on the counter. Shopping bags from Madam Primpernelle's and Madam Malkin's leaned against her ankles where she had placed them. She watched the witch on the latter writing on the blackboards for a moment and then, without thinking (as was her way) asked. ”Wouldn’t a charm have been easier?” And safer, but she kept that to herself. Winnie wasn’t completely lacking in social pleasantries. Conley had made sure of that with years of his dragging her along to diplomatic events. They were always dull, droning affairs and she was quite grateful that her cousin had finally found a significant other to drag along now…well, eventually to drag along.

Apparently not soon enough though, because in one of her bags was an evening dress she was going to have to stuff herself into in a few days. Some such event in France for some event celebrating something…she should probably figure it out before Conley picked her up. She wondered if Sachin would be attending too, but had a feeling he wouldn’t be. Which would be fine, so long as Rosa was not there.

She forced those thoughts from her mind as she watched the witch work. ”Although I imagine the charm wouldn’t have as nice lettering as you do.” She smiled, a big toothy thing. She wasn’t in a hurry and could wait for the witch to finish her writing.
